Now White’s launching a bid for Congress, saying he will challenge Democrats who he thinks aren’t doing enough to keep their seats — starting with his own congressman.
I’ve been talking with White about his long-shot bid, and his desire for a “tea party” moment on the left.

Jonathan White, a longtime civil servant who fought Trump officials’ efforts to separate migrant families, says Democrats must do more to combat the president.

If you’re upset with the government shutting down or dissatisfied with government in general, don’t blame “Washington, DC.” The people of DC, all 700k of us, have no voting representation in Congress. This falls on the 535 chuckleheads the American voters sent to Congress. #DCStatehood #FreeDC

Make no mistake, refusing to prosecute those who violate gun laws in DC will have real-world consequences: exposing to unnecessary risk some of our most sensitive federal institutions and threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents and millions of D.C. visitors.

Look at the wording of this denial. It is careful. It is lawyerly. Ghislaine Maxwell never talks about Donald Trump, she talks about "the president." Donald Trump was not the president when these alleged events happened. So her remarks may be technically true, but intentionally misleading.

HRC tells it like it is.
On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters."
On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident.

Crime fighting theater. That's all it is. And the fact that it's being forced on a location that's plurality Black, majority non-white, and 90+% Dem is, as they say, a feature, not a bug.
Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

DC guards were not likely going to be violent towards DC residents (like CA guards were reluctant to harm LA residents). So they are bringing in kids from the red states for what now looks like a de facto occupation which could get even uglier …

To quote my CM @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social, if Tr*mp really wants to make DC safer, the NUMBER ONE thing he could do is order Mike Johnson to "Immediately restore more than $1 billion in local dollars withheld by Congress from the District's current Fiscal Year 2025 budget"
